Running Windows® without macro software is like cycling in the mountains with a one-gear bicycle. It can be done, but it is a lot of work. Macros substantially reduce the physical and mental effort needed to operate a Windows®-based PC.

A macro is a sequence of commands for performing a specific task. The tasks may be simple, such as inserting a word; or complex, such as copying data from one program and pasting it in another. Macro software packages, such as Macro Express, Active Words, AutoHotkey, and KeyText can launch applications, send keystrokes, execute commands (such as maximize, resize or close a window), and control the mouse. See my Macros FAQ for more information about macro software.

Hi Saurabh

Linux is a free Unix-type operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers around the world. The inner workings of LINUX are open and available to anyone to examine and change as long as they make their changes available to the public. Linux is mostly used on servers and web servers. As it is open source, it can be developed and adapted by anyone, meaning upgrades and new developments can be implemented quickly, easily and ultimately without paying for the privilege. There are many Linux distributions, such as CentOS, Red Hat, Debian, Fedora, etc.

Thanks n regards
